Custom Posts to Activity

[Milena]

Hi ,

I needed to add custom posts to the activity feed, and found this thread useful.

@shanebp (in the buddypress forum) said :

And if you go thru the trouble of creating a CPT, why not filter the activity action so it isn’t the generic ‘…wrote a new post’. For example:

add_filter(‘bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action’, ‘record_cpt_activity_action’, 1, 3);
function record_cpt_activity_action( $activity_action, $post, $post_permalink ) {
global $bp;
if( $post->post_type == ‘videos’ ) {
if ( is_multisite() )
$activity_action = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s created a new Videos post, %2$s, on the site %3$s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), ‘‘ . $post->post_title . ‘‘, ‘‘ . get_blog_option( $blog_id, ‘blogname’ ) . ‘‘ );

else
$activity_action = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s created a new Videos post, %2$s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), ‘‘ . $post->post_title . ‘‘ );

}

return $activity_action;
}

However if I do that, the link to the custom post itself disappears. Actually it shows up but is un-clickable.

Is the code missing something?

Would really appreciate the help!
